Correct Idle RPMs: Park and Drive.
Your SVX has:
1) A 4 speed Automatic transmission, 2) Warmed up completely, in the summer weather, 3) The Airconditioning is OFF,

In the previous SVXes and my current one, I have noticed that at idle after warmming up, it pointed to around 650

Mine is usually well under 500, it appears to be close to the half way mark making me think its at 250 rpm, but not likely.
It appears to cause my trany to fall asleep. I'm very curious as to what every one else is idling at.

I picked 'over 500' for both, because my car idles properly at the prescribed 600(ish) point.

i think its supposed to idle at 680.
mines bobs up and down from 800 to 400 whether its in park or drive. i installed a chip to let it idle at 900, and is the only reason the car now runs without cutting out.

pic in my locker
the stg 1 g-box chip is pretty generic. got it from next level performance about 5 months ago and am doing the testing for it on this vehicle. if everything with the car is fine it will bump up your idle to give you a quicker start off the line. a second chip with switches is almost ready too. its the only thing keeping me on the road http://www.nextlevelracing.com/
